The Big Question ♯13

Posted on August 8, 2013 by | Comments Off on The Big Question ♯13

Apologies to anyone who didn't know yet, but I am going to ask about what people think of the announcement of Peter Capaldi as the next Doctor. Good or bad call?

Personally I think it's a great idea. Not only is he a fantastic actor, but he's a life long fan, so we can expect great things from him. I'm glad that we have an older Doctor for this regeneration and Capaldi will be able to bring the gravitas and dominance of the situation that such a role would require. He could also play a calmer and darker Doctor, which would contrast nicely against Matt Smith's goofy, hyper-active (with the occasional darkness) portrayal.

Also I'd like to know which old Who bad guys you would like to see them bring back this series, to continue the theme from each passing series (Nestene/ Autons, Daleks, Cybermen, Macra, The Master, Sontarans, Davros, Time Lords, Silurians, The Great Intelligence, Ice Warriors). Personally I'd go Axons.

Power User Profiles: Scatman

Posted on August 6, 2013 by | Comments Off on Power User Profiles: Scatman

When I decided to bring back the PUPs I made a list of 'machiners I'd like to include, today's power user was top of that list. Which is not really that surprising, when you are name checked alongside AMS as one of the masters of Heromachine (by djuby and Kaldath no less) you know you've got some serious skill going. Added to the fact his creations are always unique and brilliant and his comments never fail to amuse, I'm happy to welcome Scatman to the ranks of the Power Users.

Character Design Contest ♯35- Public Domain Literature

Posted on August 5, 2013 by | Comments Off on Character Design Contest ♯35- Public Domain Literature

This week I want you guys to have a look through the numerous literary characters that have fallen into public domain as listed on this site http://pdsh.wikia.com/wiki/Category:Literary_Characters, and do your own take on them. You can do modern versions, contemporary versions or futuristic versions I don't care, just be mindful of one thing; as these characters have been in the public domain they are not copyrighted, but adaptations of them made since are copyrighted (such as the Frankenstein movies, the Phantom of the Opera's mask form the musical, or the many Sherlock Holmes movies/ tv series), so make sure these are YOUR OWN VERSIONS.

Please make sure you have read the rules before entering. As usual, no limit on entries, so have fun and good luck.

Rules for posts, contests, and challenges that I am hosting: Original characters only, no copyrighted characters, no characters based on copyrighted characters, no characters based on RPG’s or other games. The characters must be your own design and not based on any character that might be copyrighted in any way. I have the right to delete any post that I believe crosses this line without warnings. Only post characters that you have either created for this contest specifically or you know for certain have never been entered to a contest before. If you aren’t certain, don’t enter it, because I’m not going to go back through all of the contests and check.

What is the most memorable moment from a convention that you've been to? Do you collect memorabilia and if so, what and is there any dream purchase you wish you could make?
